Hypoglycemia hormones Flashcards
1
Q
insulin
A
reduced during hypoglycemia early
promotes gluconeo and glycogenolysis
2
Q
glucagon
A
glycogenolysis stim and inbition of glycogen synth, stim gluconeogenesis
3
Q
catecholamines
A
B2 gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis; less glucose utilitzation in muscle, stim. substrates from muscle (lactate and alanine) and fat (glycerol)
stimulates insulin secretion from A2 receptors (seemingly counter-productive)
promotes symptoms of hypoglycemia (tremor, palpitations, nervousness)
4
Q
GH
A
least important, increases ketone production by release of FFA
gluconeo and glycogenolysis
5
Q
glucocorticoids
A
gluconeo
